For You I Give My Life- Huedhaut

Sitting on the couch was a young couple in love, one holding the other in a warm embrace. "Are you comfortable?" Sitting within his arms, Huedhaut whispered in your ear. Looking up at him you nodded, "Yes, thank you." You smiled. Ever since you married Huedhaut you have lived in the heavens. It has been a happy life. Growing up, you never imagined that one day you would be married to a god and living up in the heavens. In the past you would have believed such a place to be a fantasy or something of a dream but now you believed in it with all your heart and of the beautiful gods who lived there. Since the wedding you both have started a new life together, living separately from the palace but still remained close by. It was your own happy abode where the two of you could spend time together in peace.

Still holding you close with one arm, Huedhaut lowered the other to your belly, "I can't wait to see our baby." A content smile played on his lips. The day he found out of your pregnancy filled him with such emotion he was almost driven to tears. To think he was having a child with the one he loved so dearly that their bond was unshakable he would even give his own life for...It filled him with indescribable joy.

Your heart overflowed with warmth hearing his loving words, "Me too. I really am so happy." Smiling, you closed your eyes and leaned your head against Huedhaut's shoulder, a calm washed over you; you felt safe and protected in his embrace.

The other gods couldn't have been happier about the new of your pregnancy, each one of them giving you their blessing. Even The King was in high spirits, though he wouldn't freely admit it, his demeanor was always more gentle when you were around.

However, there was one god in particular who held a great hatred over your union with Huedhaut. Upon finding out about your pregnancy his hatred only grew. He had been watching from afar, keeping his eye on you and waiting for the right time...The time he could enact judgment upon you for violating the heavens.

When you fell asleep in his arms, Huedhaut gently lifted you up in his arms and carried you to bed. Softly he set you down and looked at you with tender eyes before leaning down and placing a soft kiss on your forehead, "Sleep well, my love." He whispered before carefully laying on the bed besides you and once again holding you within his arms; you were something so precious to him that he never wanted to let you go- you were his most precious treasure and his guiding light. You were so precious in his eyes and such an important part of his life that he couldn't imagine life without you.

A happy smile formed on your lips from feeling his warmth around you as you slept. Though he didn't need sleep, Huedhaut would always join you in bed, holding you all night and making sure you were never alone. Sometimes it was hard to tell if you needed him or if it was he who really needed you. Huedhaut was also smiling as he held you close and gently rubbed your belly and thinking about the future when he would meet his child for the first time - this thought filled him with joy.

You both thought this joy would last forever, that you both would always be happy and create a warm, loving family together. Little did you know your happy family wasn't to last... Something so great was just lurking around the corner, a disaster so great that its aftermath would rock the heavens to its core.

The next morning when you woke up you were surprised to see the bed vacant and Huedhaut nowhere to be seen.

Looking around the room you called out to him, "Hue?" When you received no response you hopped off the bed. For some reason you felt rather anxious and grew worried, your stomach twisted into a knot. You hurried out of the room in search of Huedhaut. With your fears growing you scurried around checking all the rooms before finally coming upon him in the kitchen.

"Hue?!" You screamed his name when you found him on the floor, gasping and looking pained. You quickly dashed to his side and knelt down besides him, "Are you okay?" You breathed in concern, placing a hand on his shoulder.
